I am facing reality, Labour members are never going to be happy with any of the four MPs you mention there. Labour MPs maybe, but not the members.
Clarke, although a more acceptable Tory than most of them, has nearly always voted against any kind of improvement of welfare benefits for anyone including the disabled. Nearly always voted for every austerity measure. Always voted against increase in taxation for those earning over £150,000.
David Liddington, was Mays defacto deputy,voted for austerity, for welfare and benefits cuts, voted against EU membership, more often than not. Voted against tax increases for those earning over £150,000.
Yvette Cooper, and Harriett Harmsn would never unite the left of the Labour Party behind them, and, although you may not like it, the left is in the ascent in the party at the moment. As Labour would bring the largest number of MPs to a Unity Government, I assume that, to a certain extent they would call the shots.
I really can’t see a Government of national unity anyway, I don’t think even the more Blairite members of the LP would be happy sharing a platform with Jo Swinson, a politician nearly as mendacious as Johnson.
I am no politico, but surely a temporary Government of NU, would be nothing to do with Labour party members. I assume it would be cobbled together behind the scenes by the MPs themselves. I stand to be corrected on this, though.
Is the Left really in the ascendancy in the Labour Party? We hear a lot of noise from McDonnell, but little from anybody else, excepting Emily Thornberry making a fool of herself on the telly recently!
Well, whatever Labour members feel, the acid test will be who the country vote for when the inevitable General Election finally arrives.
